Meet Me in St. Louis

Based on the book by Sally Benson. Adapted by Christopher Sergel.
Book • 1981
Meet Me in St. Louis consists of vignettes originally published in The New Yorker as '5135 Kensington,' later expanded into a book with each chapter representing a month in the lives of the upper-middle-class Smith family.

The stories capture everyday joys, family dynamics, teenage romances, holidays like Christmas, and tensions such as a potential move to New York, all set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America and the anticipation of the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair.

It served as the basis for the famous 1944 MGM musical film starring Judy Garland.
